“Good afternoon.”
That’s microaggresive you know. Not everybody is so fortunate to live in your time zone! It ranks right up there with “So where are you from?”
I’m not so sure about the “Hope you are doing well.” But that is probably making an assumption that they ARE doing well. What if the person isn’t doing well - and by asking that it reminded them of that, and now they feel even worse?
